Answer:

c = 0.13 j/ g.°C

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of mercury = 29.5 g

Initial temperature = 32°C

Final temperature = 161°C

Heat absorbed = 499.2 j

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

Q = m.c. ΔT

ΔT  = T2 - T1

ΔT  = 161°C - 32°C

ΔT  = 129 °C

Q = m.c. ΔT

c = Q / m. ΔT

c = 499.2 j / 29.5 g. 129 °C

c =  499.2 j / 3805.5 g. °C

c = 0.13 j/ g.°C

If the percent yield for the following reaction is 75.0%, and 25.0 g of NO₂ are consumed in the reaction, how many grams of nitr
victus00 [196]

Answer:

17.1195 grams of nitric acid are produced.

Explanation:

3NO_2+H_2O\rightarrow 2HNO_3+NO

Moles of nitrogen dioxide :

\frac{25.0 g}{56 g/mol}=0.5434 mol

According to reaction 3 moles of nitrogen dioxides gives 2 moles of nitric acid.

Then 0.5434 moles of nitrogen dioxides will give:

\frac{2}{3}\times 0.5434 mol=0.3623 mol of nitric acid.

Mass of 0.3623 moles of nitric acid :

0.3623 mol\times 63 g/mol=22.8260 g

Theoretical yield = 22.8260 g

Experimental yield = ?

\%Yield=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{theoretical yield}}\times 100

75\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{22.8260 g}

Experimental yield of nitric acid = 17.1195 g

How can i find the number of electrons are gained or lost
wel

15. 1 were lost

16. 3 were gained

17. 2 were lost

18. 1 was gained

You can figure that out by looking at the number nest to the molecule with a  plus or minus sign next to it

+ = gained

- = lost

Answer:

              Silver tarnishes and becomes black when exposed to oxygen:

              Diesel fuel burns when it is heated:

Explanation:

                    Chemical Changes are those changes in which the chemistry at molecular level is changed as the starting material is converted in to a new and different final material. This change takes place with the breaking of old bonds and forming of new bonds respectively.

Silver tarnishes and becomes black when exposed to oxygen:

This is a chemical change as Silver a white and lustrous starting material is being converted into a tarnish black final material. However, Silver doesn't readily react with oxygen at normal conditions. It readily react with Sulfur containing compounds in air and produces black compound as Ag₂S.

Diesel fuel burns when it is heated:

Diesel is a mixture of hydrocarbons ranging approximately from C₁₀H₂₀ to C₁₅H₂₈. When these hydrocarbons are burnt they produces a new materials i.e. CO₂ and H₂O.

                             C₁₀H₂₀  +  15 O₂    →     10 CO₂  + 10 H₂O

Hence, it is also a chemical reaction.
